      One of my all time favorite courses I’ve ever played!

  • @Cardamander
    @Cardamander 3 года назад +60

    That’s how a normal course plays for most of us. 5 iron into par 4s lol

    It is the most challenging course I have ever stepped on. Even the Sr. PGA guys couldn't hack it the first couple of days. The winds make it so challenging and the views are spectacular. Thank you for giving little French Lick the spot light.

    @TheGolfClan 3 года назад +3

    Made a hole-in-one on No. 8 at the Dye Course earlier this year! This place will always be special to me. Great video Zac. That was a strong effort even with some missed putts. That course from the tips in the fog is about as hard as it gets!

  • @Achievies
    @Achievies 3 года назад

    Been a minute!! Had to come show some love, almost at 100k, just want to say thank you. I have as of recent got into golf, today I officially broke 100. This kind of content and other alike have really inspired not just me but many to a sport i had no idea i would enjoy. So thank you for the content! 🤙🏽

    @123whits123 3 года назад

    I love the quality of these vids Zac. From the trackers to the subtle things like finger at the flag and target lines. Alot of golf vloggers should aim to take inspiration from you you set the bar high and the viewers love it.

  • @curtiscrow
    @curtiscrow 3 года назад

    Thanks for the pitch mark maintenance bit. It's the third biggest problem facing courses and golf to me. General thoughtlessness that's embarrassing if you're aren't a child. My favorite hat says Repair Your Ball Marks

  • @nick824
    @nick824 3 года назад

    I used to play to Donald Ross course down the road from here for my high school conference championship! Watched some tournaments here but never got a chance to play it for myself. Amazing to see the course from the view of a player! It's a real gem. Thanks for the content brother

  • @iamboss3954

    My favorite course that I've ever played!! First time ever having a caddy and it was a blast because he would heckle just like us. You've said "pure" a lot, and you aren't mistaken- it's pristine. Can't wait to see you tackle that LOOOONG par 3 on the back! We walked back to the tips just to blow our minds at how crazy far it was. I hope you also got to play the Don Ross course! 🤞

    @BryanW. 3 года назад

    Wow, that course looks carpeted. 8100 yards is a little long for me (about 1500 yards) but would be worth a go just to play that whole course. I wish I could get my lawn as green as that rough is! Look forward to part 2, fairways and greens brother. (Or was it boats and ho’s? I forget.)

  • @Golf67
    @Golf67 3 года назад +1

    Actually Zac, 38 is probably what I would have shot there too from the tips, because I would have run out of golf balls and had to walk off the course. 😉 Boy if your putter ever heats up watch out!

    • @Golf67
      @Golf67 3 года назад

    • @Jcpib094
      @Jcpib094 3 года назад +5

      I have to say it’s not a big problem as I don’t spend a lot of time on fairways...in fact, if I was smart I’d just walk up to the first hazard, throw my balls in and go home...

    • @gasperstarina9837
      @gasperstarina9837 Год назад

      Whats the point of course rating then ? And maybe you should not play that course from the tips? You can pla this course as 5,151 - 8,200 yards and have 5 TEE BOXES! Red, white, blue, black, gold... maybe just play it as 6,700yard or 7,250 yard course?
